Above part should go to section where 'handle' is defined, i.e. earlier in the
file:
ACPI writes _DSM Input Data (based on the offset in the page):
[0x0 - 0x3]: 4 bytes, NVDIMM Device Handle, 0 is reserved for NVDIMM
Root device.

UUID 648B9CF2-CDA1-4312-8AD9-49C4AF32BD62 is reserved for Read_FIT DSM function
(private QEMU function)

_FIT method uses Read_FIT function to fetch NFIT structures blob from QEMU
in 1 page sized increments which are then concatenated and returned as _FIT
method result.

what does "Varies" mean, how would I know reading this how much data Read_FIT
should read
from shared page?

that's all for doc part, I'll do the code part later.
